Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by White Young Green Plc to carry out an archaeological strip, map and record excavation during the development of a new access track at Perham Down to the east of Tidworth, Wiltshire, centred on NGR SU 26250 49300. The groundwork comprised stripping of topsoil and subsoil along the 1km route of the new track, whilst pre-construction ancillary works included the excavation of a cable trench across the line of the route. The County Archaeology Service at Wiltshire Council requested that an archaeological strip, map and record excavation should be undertaken as part of the works following an earlier evaluation which identified potential military features in Trench 46 and due to the archaeological potential of the area. Overall, relatively few archaeological remains were uncovered within the excavation area. A small assemblage of worked flint of probable Bronze Age date was found in later features and tree throws, and a single sherd of possible Iron Age pottery was also recovered from a tree throw. Two small ditches at the southern end of the route are more certainly assigned to the Roman period, and may form part of a field system recorded from aerial photographs. Sections of World War I practice trenches have been discovered near the central section of the track, in an area of known military activity, and on the opposing slope of a shallow dry valley, which the track bisects, a previous unknown trench system including a forward firing bay and rear sinuous communication trench were recorded. The archaeological fieldwork was undertaken between 17th September and 12th October 2012.
